For a collector gun yes. For a shooter, no. I'll take the modern metallurgy for the shooter.
The 1886 is a much nicer gun than a 1895 Marlin. I like the Marlins a lot since I am a 336 guy. But, the Browning takes the lever gun too a higher level in looks and feel. The checkering is very good on those particular guns and the metal " carving" is typical of all the Japanese Brownings I have..............very good. |

I'm with Tahqua on this, If I were collecting, this would be a nice quality piece to have but a collection needs the origonal. This one was built in the early 90's and is well able to handle anything you want to feed it. I hunt all my guns in what ever conditions, but this one would require some exception. I think the guy may work with me on it if no one takes action in the next week or so. Time will tell. |
